Atenas Cordoba (La Liga) added to their roster experienced 38-year old naturalized Italian center Omar Canton (205cm) for season 2021-22. Canton played last summer at Sp.America in the La Liga Argentina. In 24 games he recorded very impressive stats: 18.7ppg and 4.7rpg. A very spectacular season in his career as he was voted to Latinbasket.com All-Argentinian La Liga Argentina 2nd Team. He ended the last season at Comunicaciones where in 6 La Liga games he averaged 9.8ppg and 3.5rpg. But the most of that year he spent at Regatas Corrientes. In 15 La Liga games he had 9.5ppg and 2.8rpg. Great season indeed as he was selected to Latinbasket.com All-Argentinian La Liga Argentina 2nd Team.
Canton is quite experienced player. He has played also professionally in Brazil (Sport Club do Recife and FTC EAD Bahia), Chile (Los Leones), Colombia (Academia), Spain and Uruguay (Cantonbraica, Union Atletica Montevideo and Nacional) and Argentina (Bahia, Echague, Canadense, Quilmes Mar del Plata and Lanus).
He is close to retirement age as a player. It's very possible he may end his playing career at Atenas.
